If the Bills get to the Championship game and are not facing the Chiefs then IMO they're playing the Chargers. I'm pretty certain they'll be facing the Bengals, if they get through the Wildcard.

I hope you're being sarcastic.

I think the league did the best they could in the circumstances, to be honest. The things I disagree with don't affect us - if the rules say win percentage is the deciding factor then the Bengals should get home field advantage against the Ravens without a coin toss, even if they lose tomorrow (I'd question the rule, but if it says it...) and any Bengals-Bills post season game should be played on a neutral field.

Tomorrow was and is huge no matter what happened in Vegas today.

I think the Bengals, Bills, Chargers and Chiefs are really close in talent - who gets through to the Super Bowl between the four may well be down to a sole major play or a piece of luck.

I think ESPN and the NFL would have wanted a closer game than this.

PI on the Chiefs? What black magic is this? ETA - That was less of a PI than those not called.

Been to the same school as the Bills defense.

In the play before it the defensive player had the offensive player wrapped up, nothing called. I'd say that was more DPI than the second play.

FFS Raiders, what was that on 3rd and 10???

Yes, in fairness, that WAS RTP going by the majority of 2022/23 standards.

Is that any different to the previous 16?

Oh no, the Raiders could have a three and out. THROW A FLAG.

It is when you're any defense but the Chiefs.

Yes. And I'm King Charles III.

Yeah, ask a stupid question... that's never given against them. If that was the Bills it'd be flag day.

How was that not DPI?

Because this game has an impact on the number one seed. And, due to events outside of the Bills control, they've lost one game too many to still have it in their hands at the moment.

The Dolphins defeat I have sympathy over. Injuries and heat exhaustion turned the Bills offense into mush by the end of the game.

And if the Bills hadn't lost to the Jets...

Don't worry, we're being told that. Over and over again.

To be honest, from a 'story' perspective, having the Bills there would carry far more weight.

The Mahomes Magic Show? Seriously, get lost.

Not that I wish it on anyone but how many injuries have they suffered this year as well? It feels like they've cruised through this season. Still, Chargers-Chiefs could be interesting in the Divisional round.

Well, if the Bills get one, they'll probably have to face the Chargers in the Divisional game; if they finish at two they'll probably play the Bengals. And if it's three, they'll go to Paycor. One doesn't carry quite as much weight this year as long as the Bills win tomorrow. Thank goodness.
